The Latest

Wednesday, June 14, 2017

TNT and USA each premiered female-led (and relatively female-skewing) dramas late last week. For TNT, it was newbie Claws (0.44), which started on exactly the same demo rating as season two of Animal Kingdom. And USA had sophomore Queen of the South (0.40), which was within a league average drop from its year-ago series premiere. Even better for QotS is that it didn't have a WWE lead-in this year. It looks like that difference might lead to the show skewing more female this season. (Its 0.50 W18-49 tied the highest rating from season one, but the 0.30 M18-49 was below the season one average.)

There were also some much lower-rated genre dramas returning in the last week, including Syfy's Friday duo of Dark Matter (0.15) and Wynonna Earp (0.09). Dark Matter had the better hold of the two compared with last season's ratings. And BBC America's Orphan Black (0.07) returned to Saturday for its final season. It was just a hundredth below last season's premiere on a Thursday, but didn't look particularly different from what the Who spin-off Class has been doing in this slot.
